So first, thanks you very much for your fast (!) replies and help!! :)

Now I had again some time to dig into it.

(ok I should have looked at this by myself... ;)
Ok, as I see... mesa is -THE- opengl implementation... learned something new, 
thanks! ;)

So I was able to work this out. The "Ubuntu Software-Center" is a useless piece 
of commercial software advertising tool... But the good old apt did the job, 
"apt-cache" to be precise:

$ apt-cache search mesa | grep mesa | grep dev
mesa-common-dev - Entwicklerdokumentation für Mesa
libegl1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the EGL API -- development files
libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- development 
files
libgles1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 1.x API -- development 
files
libgles2-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 2.x API -- development 
files
libglu1-mesa-dev - Mesa OpenGL utility library -- development files
libopenvg1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenVG API -- development files
libosmesa6-dev - Mesa Off-screen rendering extension -- development files
libglw1-mesa-dev - A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- development files
libegl1-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the EGL API -- 
development files
libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX 
development files
libgles1-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 1.x API -- 
development files
libgles2-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 2.x API -- 
development files
libopenvg1-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the OpenVG API -- 
development files
mesa-common-dev-lts-quantal - Developer documentation for Mesa
libgl1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX development files

Now I'm not sure which ones to pick, from your fedora repo list I would assume 
I have to pick:

libgl1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX development files
libegl1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the EGL API -- development files

What do you think? Does this sound reasonable? Any other hints?

Thanks in advance and Greetings

Afaik all Linux distributions use Mesa to provide a OpenGL implementation. You 
seem to lack the development packages, on Fedora thats

$ rpm -qa | grep mesa | grep devel
mesa-libGL-devel-9.1-3.fc18.x86_64
mesa-libEGL-devel-9.1-3.fc18.x86_64

does not work. There is no package mesa in ubuntu repos, but mayavi2 and it 
work's (without a mesa package). What is mesa for? Is it hardware specific 
(ati, nvidia)?
